Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

As soon as Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, the door of the conference room suddenly opened, and Xuan Zi, with a very ugly expression, appeared at the door of the conference room.

Zhang Lexuan quickly stood up and supported him.

"Master Xuan, why are you here?"

"Ahem." Xuan Zi coughed twice. "My injuries are no longer serious. This matter is of great importance, so let me speak in person."

"Ah." Moon, lying on the recliner, sighed softly, "Since you're here, sit down and tell me what you encountered."

"Okay." Xuan Zi was helped by Zhang Lexuan to sit next to Moon, and then he slowly spoke, "After the Fighting Spirit Competition ended, I took the children to the direction of the academy. Halfway through the journey, I felt a powerful aura."

"There are five people lying in ambush on the road we must take to return to the academy. They must have prepared in advance. Beyond that place is the border between the Xingluo Empire and the Tianhun Empire, which is guarded by the army. It is also some distance away from Xingluo City, which is where the Xingluo Empire's defenses are weak."

"Those five people have cultivation bases above the ninth ring, and they are all evil soul masters."

As soon as Xuan Zi finished speaking, the expressions of the elders around the long table changed. Moon En and Yan Shaozhe had already heard Xuan Zi talk about it once, but when he mentioned it again, their expressions also turned a little ugly.

The fact that evil soul masters, whose strength already surpassed that of ordinary soul masters, broke through to the Titled Douluo level was not good news for the entire continent, and five of them appeared in a row.

Xuan Zi glanced at everyone and continued, "The one who injured me was no less powerful than me. I fought hard to scatter the skull dragon he summoned, but I could sense that he himself wasn't seriously injured."

"It was only because he had other things to do that he pulled away and didn't continue fighting with me." Xuan Zi said and coughed again, "And their target was Xiao Tao."

He knew in his heart that if he had delayed a little longer, he might have really had to fight to the death. The other party might have left first because of this concern.

After listening to Xuanzi's story, the conference hall was quiet for a while. No one around spoke, and it was Moon, who was lying in the main seat, who broke the silence.

"Le Xuan, after Xuan Zi came back, you and the others went to the place where Xiao Tao left. Did you find anything?"

Zhang Lexuan seemed to be in a trance. Only after being called by Moon did she snap back to her senses and spoke hesitantly, "Well, I met someone who looked very similar to what Elder Xuan described. That person was heading towards the Sun-Moon Empire, so I wonder if Xiao Tao was taken there by them?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe slammed his hand on the table. "I knew it was the Sun-Moon Empire. The Shrek Supervisory Group has been active in the three empires for many years. How could five Titled Douluo appear without a trace? Only the Sun-Moon Empire has a place for them to hide."

"Shaozhe." Moon En scolded, his tone was not harsh, but it made Yan Shaozhe stop talking.

Turning to look at Zhang Lexuan, Moon nodded slightly. "This is still just speculation, but there haven't been any high-level evil spirit masters active in recent years. It seems they've found a hiding place."

"Mr. Mu, there is an evil soul master that even Mr. Xuan cannot deal with..." An old man at the side spoke with some uncertainty in his tone.

"No, according to Xuanzi's previous description, that evil soul master is called 'the leader' by others. There should be only one person with such a level of cultivation." Moon shook his head. "I'm afraid that those evil soul masters have formed a large group."

"They can now send out a full five Title Douluo. If we allow them to continue to develop, I'm afraid they will become increasingly difficult to control."

Moon said this, gently closed his eyes, and took a long breath. "The original intention of establishing the Shrek Supervisory Group was to deal with those evil soul masters who lacked supervision and restraint, and to prevent tragedies on the continent. Now that we know that our opponent is powerful, we should take action in a timely manner."

Moon suddenly opened his eyes, and a ray of light seemed to flash in his eyes, and a terrifying aura flashed by. Everyone in the conference hall focused their eyes on him. At this moment, they couldn't help but think of the kind old man in front of them, who was once the famous Dragon God Douluo on the continent.

"From today on, the Shrek Supervisory Group's scope of activities will also be expanded to include the Sun-Moon Empire. Unlike the three major empires, the Sun-Moon Empire has always been at odds with us and is much more dangerous than the other empires. Therefore, only teachers and students with a cultivation level above the eighth ring can enter the Sun-Moon Empire."

"Also, if necessary, I will take action myself."

"Mr. Mu——"

"teacher--"

The others showed a hint of shock on their faces. They all knew that in Moon's current state, every attack he made would reduce his remaining days by one point, which meant burning through his already limited lifespan.

"Alright." Moon raised his hand, his tone somewhat serious. "Ever since the academy was divided into the Inner Court and the Outer Court, how many young Inner Court disciples have lost their lives fighting against evil soul masters?"

"They have long been prepared to sacrifice everything to maintain stability on the mainland. Don't we old people have such awareness?"

Moon glanced around and said, "This time, our opponent is extraordinary. It's difficult for the students to deal with it. This time, the monitoring mission should be completed by us elders."

"Next, all the elders of the Sea God Pavilion will lead the teachers and disciples of the academy into the Sun-Moon Empire to search for the traces of the evil soul masters and Xiao Tao. This is my proposal today. Everyone, please vote by raising your hands."

"I agree, cough cough--" Xuan Zi moved his body and couldn't help coughing twice.

"Xuan Zi, you should recuperate first during this period of time."

"Mr. Mu——"

"Needless to say, only you can deal with their leader. Right now, healing your injuries is more important than anything else."

"Yes."

Chapter 155 What happened?

The Poseidon Pavilion meeting ended quickly, and the proposal put forward by Moon in the name of the Poseidon Pavilion Master and the head of the Shrek Supervisory Group was naturally passed unanimously.

The famous elders left one after another with sullen expressions, all thinking in their hearts how to enter the Sun-Moon Empire.

"Le Xuan."

Zhang Lexuan also stood up, but was suddenly stopped by Moon En.

"Mr. Mu?"

"Please walk with me."

"Yes." Zhang Lexuan nodded and walked forward to gently help Moon up.

"Kid, how many years have you been in the college?" Moon En walked out of the conference hall with a hunched back and spoke softly to Zhang Lexuan beside him.

"It's been thirteen years." Zhang Lexuan slowly followed Moon.

"Yes, you've been like my child for so many years. You've grown up so quickly." Moon sighed. "I knew this day would come, but there are still many things in my heart that I can't let go of, and one of them is you."

"Beibei's parents had just passed away, and my heart was filled with sadness and anger. I was only thinking about how to take good care of Beibei, so I made that excessive request. I've already told you that you don't need to continue to abide by that agreement."

Zhang Lexuan was stunned for a moment, her expression a little complicated. After a long silence, she slowly shook her head.

"Alas." Moon sighed softly, "This is my fault too. You can't force feelings. If you continue like this, it will only bring you pain. You have to know that human feelings are unreasonable."

Moon's voice was very gentle, as if he was recalling something. "You can't force yourself to like someone, but when your heart is truly touched by someone, you will never forget them."

"Regardless of time or position. Even if you keep telling yourself to forget, in the end, you will only remember it more and more."

Zhang Lexuan was shocked when she heard this. She didn't know what she was thinking about and stopped unconsciously.

"What's wrong?" Moon also stopped and looked at Zhang Lexuan, but saw that she was lowering her head and not looking at him.

"Do you think an old man like me would actually talk about these things?" Moon smiled. "I was young once, and this is another thing that worries me."

"The person Xuan Zi described reminded me of many people I met when I was young. His martial spirit is like an old friend of mine, someone I once loved deeply."

"It's funny to say that. That person clearly turned into an evil soul master, but Dragon God Douluo, who has always been an enemy of evil soul masters, couldn't make a move on her. He even remembers it to this day."

Zhang Lexuan didn't say a word, but just walked forward and helped Moon up again.

"You may not understand it now, but one day, when you truly find the person who can touch your heart, just pretend that the promise never existed."

Moon didn't say anything else, but just raised his head slightly and looked in the direction of the Sun and Moon Empire.

I hope all this is not caused by her...

"The leader."

Near the border of the Sun and Moon Empire, Zhang Peng and Nangong Wan brought the unconscious Ma Xiaotao back to Zhongli Wu.

"Bring it back?"

Zhongli Wu raised his head slightly, his face looking a little pale under his cloak.

"Yes." Zhang Peng nodded excitedly. "As expected of a Saint, after the evil fire erupted, her soul power level has jumped to level 70."

"The flames were approaching their peak. I was afraid of hurting the Saint, so I waited until her soul power was exhausted before bringing her back."

"That's right, it's worth my personal effort." Zhongli Wu looked at Ma Xiaotao and said in a low voice, "After all, this is Shrek Academy. It's really not easy to deal with."

Although he did not suffer much damage in the battle with Xuan Zi, the bone dragon he had cultivated for a long time was broken up. He didn't know how much time and resources it would take to condense it again. How could he not feel distressed?

Fortunately, this trip was not in vain.

Thinking of this, Zhongli Wu suddenly turned around and looked at the mountains. Lin Xiao's figure was approaching along the shadows of the trees.

"What's going on over there in the Xingluo Empire? Have they made any moves?" Zhongli Wu spoke in a deep voice when Lin Xiao came to his side.

"Master, the Fifth Elder has returned to Xingluo City." Lin Xiao clasped his fists towards Zhongli Wu. "There haven't been any other moves from the Xingluo Empire, but when I returned, I saw people from Shrek Academy. They seemed to be searching for the Saint."

"Hmph." Zhongli Wu's expression turned even uglier when Shrek Academy was mentioned. "Let them find it."

"Now that the Saint has returned, the Holy Church has taken another major step forward. The crows have returned. Please inform the other branches that the Saint's return ceremony will be held in half a month. All disciples who can attend must be present."

"Yes, Sect Master!"

"Let's go back."

Several bright lights streaked across the night sky. Zhongli Wu and his companions took Ma Xiaotao and headed towards the Demon Forest. Lin Xiao did not go with them. After flying for a distance, he turned around and flew towards Mingdu.

"Stop, who is it?"

At the gate of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, Lin Xiao was stopped as soon as he approached.

Although he had noticed that the people guarding the college gate looked unfamiliar, Lin Xiao did not expect them to stop him.

"I'm a disciple of the academy." Lin Xiao stopped in surprise and spoke calmly.

The two guards looked at each other, then looked back at Lin Xiao, "Where's the student certificate?"

"I'll take it with me. Let me find it." Lin Xiao took out his ID from the storage soul guide, glanced at the two of them inadvertently, and frowned slightly.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy is not usually strict, and the two people on duty today have cultivation levels higher than mine.

No matter how special the status of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy is, it is impossible to find two eighth-level soul guides to guard the academy gate. Even Mingde Hall does not have such treatment.

Did something happen in the academy, or...

"You haven't been at the academy these days. Where have you been?"

The person on duty took a look at Lin Xiao's student certificate, but still had no intention of letting him leave.

These days?

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao understood that these two people had been on duty here for more than just one or two days.

Suppressing his thoughts, he answered truthfully, "I went to the Xingluo Empire for something."

"Is it about the Fighting Spirit Tournament? But from what we know, you shouldn't be a contestant or a team leader, right? And why didn't you come back with the others?"

Lin Xiao's frown deepened. "I'm sorry, this matter involves the arrangements of the college, so I can't tell you. If you still have any doubts, you can go to my teacher, Director Lin, to verify it."

The two guards looked at Lin Xiao, as if trying to determine the truth in his words. However, before they could come to a conclusion, a figure suddenly soared into the sky from the academy.
